Summary
[edit]DescriptionHydroelectric powerplant in Botni Faroe Islands.jpg |
English: The hydro-electric powerplant in Botni was built in 1920-21, ready to use in 1921. The people in Vágur celebrated the opening of this first electric power plant in the Faroes on 18 July 1921. The mayor, Petur Dahl, also known as Petur á Gørðunum, arranged a party in the public school, where he switched on the ligths for the first time. The hydro-electric powerplant in Botni is still in use, but in 1982 an additional powerplant was built on Oyrarnar in Vágur, next to the sea on the southern side of the fjord. These two powerplants provide electricity to the island Suðuroy, which is not connected to the main area due to large distance. When they have a black-out in the main area of the Faroes, Suðuroy still has power and vice-versa. In 1963 Elfelagið Suðuroy joined SEV, which is for the whole country (Faroe Islands). Føroyskt: Vatnorkuverkið í Botni (elektrisitetsverkið í Botni), Botnur í Vági, var bygt í 1921 og var tað fyrsta av sínum slag í Føroyum. Tað er enn í nýtslu og veit streym til borgarar og virki í Suðuroynni, saman við elverkinum á Oyrunum í Vági og elverkinum í Trongisvági. Vatnorkuverkið í Botni er tað einasta vatnorkuverkið í Suðuroynni. Onnur vatnorkuverk eru: Heygaverkið, Fossáverkið, Mýruverkiðm Eiðisverkið og Strond. Tað var Vágs kommuna ið bygdi verkið. Borgarstjóri tá var Petur Dahl, eisini kendur sum Petur á Gørðunum. |
